The fertile soil and clear waters of the Sapphire Coast of NSW Australoiu have long been known to provide world class fresh produce. In the skilled hands of local chefs and artisans, our region's harvest becomes an experience to be savoured.
Now local families and tourists alike can experience all of the region's flavours in one place by packing a picnic blanket and wandering down to the picturesque Fishpen on Merimbula Lake on Sunday March 10.
"EAT Merimbula will provide plated premium local fare from our most accomplished local chefs", says Natalie Godward from the Merimbula Chamber of Commerce. "We'll have up to 20 of our best chefs and food entrepreneurs creating something special for the day. Think Kingfish Sushimi, gourmet pastries, giant paellas, mouth watering oysters - and plenty of surprises."
The foreshore at the Fishpen will be set up as a locavore's paradise for the day in one of the best settings in Merimbula.
Sapphire Coast Tourism's Tourism Manager Anthony Osborne adds, "Get hungry and get excited because this is the start of big things to come. The region has so much to offer. Merimbula locals and tourists look out over the lake and right under their noses is a jewel in our culinary crown...the humble oyster. Left or right you'll see the rich earth that sustains the dairy indutsry and down by the the Eden or Bermagui wharves, a shovel scraping on ice is music to seafood lover's ears. Us locals, we mostly take it all for granted but I can assure you our visitors don't. So this is a great way to start jumping up and down about it".
EAT 2013 will be held on the banks of Merimbula Lake at Fishpen and will run from 10am to 4pm on March 10. Bring a picnic blanket and the family and come on down!
